Chapter 26 Same Starting Line

The competition is unnamed.

I have to say, the game was really ugly.

The two teams fought frantically in the midfield. They couldn't make it through, and neither could their opponents. The two Argentines, Almeida and Ibagaza, kept colliding. Olesola was in charge of the midfield. Can't find an opportunity.

The game lasted for nearly 20 minutes, and neither side even had a decent chance to shoot.Long-range shots from outside the penalty area, crushing shots, but the threat is not great, and most of them are resolved by the back line.

Marchegiani and Roa were particularly focused and made wonderful saves one after another.Whether it's Lazio or Mallorca, it's a tough battle, a grinding game, tough for everyone.

Eriksson and Cooper, two pulsatillas, stood on the sidelines, shouting constantly, dancing and directing the battle, sweating and shining under the lights.

Lin Lian sat nervously on the bench, it was not easy, really not easy.After all, it is the final of the European Cup Winners Cup. The defensive deployment of the two teams is very strict and they will not give up the ball easily.

Vieri has an advantage with his back against Siviero, but it is also difficult to turn around. His role as a fulcrum in the frontcourt is of great help to the team, and Mallorca's defense is shrinking.

Vieri turned around with difficulty, knocked horizontally, and the ball was taken away. Dani actually defended near the penalty area, took a few steps forward, and then divided the ball to launch a counterattack.

The Mallorca team has been compressed to around 20 meters in the penalty area, and the defensive thickness has increased. It is difficult for Lazio players to find opportunities.

Nedved closely followed Biagini, and even though Dani made a good pass, he was still disturbed by his opponent.Under the defense of Almeida, Biagini could only transfer the ball out.

The fierce collision consumes the physical energy of the players on both sides very quickly. As long as the second half comes, the defensive tightness of the two teams will drop, and then it will be the time when the bayonet really shines.

Eriksson and Cooper knew in their hearts that the game was not that simple. The winner was the one who carried it to the last moment. It was impossible to eat the opponent in one go.

The entanglements and collisions in the midfield continued, and the time passed quickly. Although there were no goals, the pace of the game was very fast, and you came and went, constantly impacting.The arena was so exciting that there was no time for the fans to pee.

Nedved protected the ball, carried Lauren to pass the ball, and gave it to the middle. Salas suddenly jumped out, with a simple shot.

The football flew up, Marcellinho had quick eyes and quick feet, stretched his legs to block, and changed direction slightly.

boom!
At the same time as the football changed direction, the speed of the ball also dropped. It was saved by Roa and then kicked out of the boundary by Soler. Mallorca escaped.

Salas knelt on the ground in frustration, touched his head, depressed, and almost lost his name in history.

At the end of the first half, the two teams still failed to break the deadlock, but it was obvious that the intensity of the fight was slowly decreasing. The high-intensity fight could not last for a whole game, and the players couldn't handle it.Moreover, at this stage, the habit of losing the ball and counter-stealing has generally not yet appeared.

"Guys, good performance, continue to press." Eriksson greeted the players in the locker room, "We will continue to maintain pressure in the second half, compressing their defense line near the penalty area, and they will collapse."

Nesta also stood up, he is the captain of the team and must perform at critical moments, "Guys, we need more energy, we want to make history, we need to give Lazio a trophy. This is the last winner Cup, we are the makers of history."

"Hoohoo!"

Lin Lian stood in a corner, being a little transparent, silently recalling the opponent's situation. Before the game, he searched a lot of videos of the opponent, looking for the opponent's technical characteristics. If there is a chance, he believes that he can play a role.

"Guys, let's go, kill Mallorca and make history." Vieri greeted his teammates with full force.

Eriksson walked behind and called Lin Lian, "Lin Lian, I will arrange for you to play in 70 minutes, I hope you seize the opportunity and don't let me down."

The helpless promise, this is the pressure put on him by the top management, and must be fulfilled.

"I will, I will score goals, and the team will win." Lin Lian gritted his teeth.

At about 70 minutes, the physical fitness of both sides had almost dropped. When he sprinted, he must have put a lot of pressure on Mallorca's defense. This is more of a tactical consideration.

We don't rely entirely on relationships, strength is more important.Without strength, there is no way to support it.

Continuous high-dose fighting, the players on both sides began to show fatigue around 60 minutes.This point in time is also one of the points in the game when it is easy to score goals.

At this moment, Biaggini sprinted with the ball, passed people all the way, passed Conceicao and Pancaro in a row, cut in from the side, met Marchegiani, and shot beautifully. Unfortunately, the ball missed a little bit. Slide out the post.

Mallorca's attack momentum gradually picked up, and Eriksson greeted the players on the sidelines.Retrace, continue to retrace.

Nesta and Almeida greeted their teammates and asked them to retreat to assist the defense and actively shrink.

This is a tactical deployment that Lazio often plays. The Lazio players have a unified mind and gradually retreat, leaving space for Mallorca.

Cooper was very cautious and did not dare to press the whole line rashly. There were still many players left in the backcourt. Eriksson despised Cooper's actions, "If you are not fooled, you are not a good person."

Lazio still found a chance. Nesta intercepted the ball and passed it to Almeida. Almeida sent it directly to the wing. Conceicao broke through and passed quickly. There were Salas and Vieri in the middle.

Vieri is full of impact, killing like a tank, rolling forward.The man arrived, the ball arrived, the football fell to Vieri's feet, and he continued to rush forward.

"Give it to me!" Facing the defense of Siviero and Marcellinho, Vieri was unafraid, relying on his body to break through the space, an unstoppable body.

Opportunity appeared, without passing the ball, he took a big step inside the edge of the penalty area, turned his body horizontally, moved his feet not at all slow, and shot low.

Roa couldn't react to the powerful action. When it landed, he could only watch the ball hit the net, and he could even feel the wind blowing from the football across his head.

In the 65th minute, Vieri finally broke the deadlock, and the balance of victory began to favor Lazio. Vieri rushed to the fans excitedly, kneeling passionately.

The substitute players on the sidelines waved towels, shocked, BOBO has strength.

Eriksson punched angrily on the sidelines, okay, that's it, hold on.He turned to look at Lin Lian, "Hurry up and keep putting pressure on your opponent."

Lin Lian heard the cry, jumped off the bench, ran on the sidelines, raised his legs, sprinted, and finally it was my turn to play.

In the next few minutes, the situation changed suddenly. Mallorca's offensive enthusiasm was completely ignited, and they kept attacking Lazio's defense. Jovan and Olesola kept passing, and the ball was transferred to the frontcourt.

Biagini quickly pulled the sidelines to draw Nesta's attention, and then Dani came in from the middle. The movement of dribbling and protecting the ball was wonderful, and there was a sudden panic in Lazio's small penalty area.

The young Mikhailovich missed the flexible Dani and gave the opponent a chance to shoot.Naturally, Dani would not let go of the opportunity, and also made a low shot.

It pierced through the gate guarded by Marchegiani, not good.

1:1, Mallorca equalized the score, both sides will reach the same starting line.If you don't score, you have to come in a row, each side scores a goal, and the game becomes more exciting.

Lin Lian was lonely and speechless on the sidelines, "What the hell, is there still a chance for me to play?"
